    Your body will take the time it needs to process the food. Unless you throw it up, it will come out as poop, thus meaning it has been processed.

    To be fair, usually after a really huge binge, and not that long after, I end up with diarrhea, which involves far less processing because everything is moving so quickly through the system. I have a feeling it's the body's defense against you being an idiot and shoveling ALL THE FOODZ in.
    Diarrhea indicates water processing has not happened, which is probably oddly the longest part of digesting things. The real indicator for the calories themselves being taken up is the existance of actual stuff that looks like food, other than the usual digestion survivors like corn. Admittedly, I wouldn't blame anyone for not really looking into check what's going on with any of that though.

    I'm gong to assume that experience of eating contests verifies this and will let it go at that...

    If I eat a 10,000 calorie meal, is my body actually going to absorb all those calories?? Seems like it couldn't process even half of them at one time.
    Sounds like science needs to be done here.

    Who volunteers to take me out to dinner to test this?

    Remember, humanity is at steak.

    Nice. But, I don't think I can afford that dinner bill... Although if I take you to cheesecake factory, I think that's only 3 entrees and two pieces of cheesecake.

    It's amazing the things you can find on the interwebs: Ryan Lochte's 10000 cal meal. Doesn't look that daunting, except for that casserole thing.
